Lotus Herbals Opulence Botanical Eye Liner Review

Hey
Girls,

This
post is going to be a review of Lotus Opulence Botanical eye liner. The
introduction of the pure stay range from lotus bought lots of eyes towards the
brand and of course my eyes were one of them too. Till then, I was seeing lotus
only as a skin care brand. After the introduction of pure stay range, my eyes
fell upon their cosmetic collections as well.

After
having good experience with their under eye cream and foundation, I purchased
this eyeliner. Read on to know about my experience with this eyeliner.

The
eyeliner comes in a small bottle with felt tip applicator. The liner bottle is
so small and as the bottle is not made of glass, it weighs less too.

Applicator:

I
felt applying a thin line on the lower lash line was somewhat comfortable with
this applicator. Apart from that it was quite disappointing because I was not
at all comfortable in using the applicator on my upper lash line. I have read a
lot of times that the felt tip applicators are very useful for drawing pretty
lines but I found this applicator too stubborn to draw lines. It tugged on my
eyelids and I was not able to get a smooth application at all.

Eyeliner:

It comes off as a black watery liquid. Once applied it dries off super quick. The liner, as it is not even a little creamy, makes application of flicks very tedious. I was forced to draw small small lines and connect them just as they say in the tutorials. I being a liquid liner girl all my life found working with such a formula very annoying.

After 3-4 hours the eyeliner kind of dried and started
getting cracks at random places and started falling off. When I checked my face
at 1 PM at office, I was so embarrassed because the liner in my right eye had
fallen off 50% and on my left eye it was getting the cracks.

I
removed it easily with my wipes after splashing a little water on my eyes. The
wipes were general wet wipes and not the makeup removing ones.

You
might notice in the swatch that the lines have come so haggard and un even.

As
I do not have much to say about this liner, I would directly proceed to list
out its pros and cons.

Pro’s:

1.
Travel friendly bottle. (Not made of glass).

2.
The felt tip was somewhat comfortable in drawing thin lines in the lower lash
line.

3. Contains Camphor and Almond oil.

Con’s:

1.
Eyeliner’s applicator was not comfortable for drawing lines and flicks. I was
not able to draw a continuous line.

2.
Eyeliner cracks and falls off after some time which is very disappointing.

3.
Not water proof as it can be easily removed with water or wet wipes.

4.
Very costly considering the performance.

In
short, this one was a great disappointment to me and lotus needs to do
something about this eyeliner especially when it’s getting all positive reviews
about its other products.
